When I play, the CPU temperature fluctuates between 60ºC, is this normal?

[AsuneoRomano]

When I play, for example, the NBA, CSGO or Destiny 2, among others ..., the temperature is between 58 to 63, is it normal?

[Frank ツ]

Absolutly normal

Yep, it absolutely is.
Basically, more load you put on your CPU - more heat it will produce. Load in videogames is inconsistent, because one moment you can be just staring at the wall, and the next moment you might be looking at a five characters moving and shooting and stuff, hence temperature fluctuates accordingly. CPU fan also adjusts its speed all the time, which adds up to inconsistency - you reach some temp, it goes faster, CPU cools down, it reduces the speed, etc.
Basically, until your CPU or GPU temps reach 80+ degrees - don't overthink it, everything works just fine.

what cpu?

am3/3+ have a max of 62-72c
anything newer has a max of 90-100c

You cant really say without saying what cooler and what clocks

What they meant was that you wont thermal throttle until you get to those temps.

the cooler and oc do not change the max cpu temp

He poorly worded it, what he meant to say was ''The CPU won't throttle until it reaches x temp.''

Actually, they do, depending on how you read it. Since you didn't specify what you mean, there's 2 things it could mean.

Max reached temp or max thermals allowed.

So, you're half wrong (simply because you didn't specify what you meant.)

Though, I'm being really pedantic here, and it doesn't matter to much.

Yeah, perfectly fine, and it's quite cool too.
Only worry if your CPU reaches 85+c, when it does, you could clean it out.

no they dont, they can effect the current temp, but nto the fmax of the cpu
9600k = 100c max, the temp where it throttles

TJUNCTION 100°C

The CPU isn't being thrashed to bound to fluctuate. Ideally, on a good cooler, I would settle for 70c on max load, so long as the cooler can hold it there. Anything higher will probably affect the life of the system.

Nah, 70 degrees is pretty much safe.
The damage is not being done by high temps. In fact, to start melting solder under the contact pads, you need more than 200 degrees. What is affecting the life of a system is high ΔT. Pretty much like when you find a cold beer bottle and throw it into a fire - it cracks due to temperature rising too fast. The same applies to PCs, only it happens slower, and with micro cracks.

[Red™]

Quite normal. Don't worry about it.

for most 60-70c if fine
but a few that have a max of that are not

we need to know what cpu the op has to determine what its max temp is

It's i3-8100. Totally nothing to worry about.
